List prices of HRCs (2.5-8 mm, IS2062, Gr E250 Br) ranged within INR 55,250-57,000\/t ($598-617\/t) ex-Mumbai. CRCs (0.9 mm, IS513 CR1) were listed at INR 63,200-64,250\/t ($684-695\/t).<\/p>\n<p>BigMint&#8217;s benchmark assessment (bi-weekly) for HRC (IS2062, Gr E250, 2.5-8 mm\/CTL) prices increased by INR 1,000\/t ($11\/t) w-o-w to INR 56,500\/t ($612\/t) on 17 March against INR 55,500\/t ($601\/t) in the same period last week.<\/p>\n<p>Trade sentiment remains bullish, underpinned by geopolitical uncertainty and supply constraints which have volatility into global commodity markets, prompting traders and distributors to build inventories in apprehension of potential supply disruptions. This, coupled with tight availability, particularly in north India, resulted in a sharp w-o-w increase in prices.<\/p>\n<p>Market chatter indicated that constrained availability of fuel and gas may disrupt mill operations, leading to reduced downstream production and encouraging mills to divert surplus HR material into the open market.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-61154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-13.jpg?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-13.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-13.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-13.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-13.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In comparison, CRC market sentiment remains tighter, as downstream production of CR and coated products is being impacted by limited LPG availability. If the current geopolitical situation continues for the next 10-15 days, the price gap between HR and CR is likely to widen further.<\/p>\n<p>IF rebar prices soften in key markets:\u00a0IF-route rebar prices witnessed a slight decline w-o-w across major Indian markets. Trading activity remained moderate, with buyers largely continuing need-based procurement and showing resistance at elevated price levels. However, manufacturers maintained higher offer levels, supported by underlying cost pressure, while offering competitive discounts to sustain sales momentum. Despite the recent softening, market dynamics are evolving rapidly amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and elevated raw material and energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>On a w-o-w basis, rebar prices softened by INR 100-800\/t across key regions. However, Chennai and Raipur witnessed a price uptick of INR 200\/t, supported by relatively better demand.<\/p>\n<p>BF rebar list prices increase: However, the primary steelmakers increased rebar prices by INR 500-1,000\/t ($5-11\/t) last week, sources informed BigMint. Post-revision, list prices stood at INR 59,500-60,500\/t ($636-646\/t) on landed basis.

Also, buyers were cautious due to higher BF-IF price gap, with the spread in Mumbai widening to around INR 8,500-9,000\/t ($91-96\/t). IF rebar continues to dominate the Indian market, accounting for an estimated 65-70% share.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, limited availability of some sizes is still prevailing in the market which is lending support to prices.<\/p>\n<p>Outlook:<\/p>\n<p>Geopolitical conflict in the Persian Gulf and consequent disruptions to maritime trade have triggered restocking in steel markets in apprehension of a prolonged standoff in the region. Moreover, surging crude and gas prices have propelled the coal market too. These factors are behind mills&#8217; decisions to raise HRC and CRC prices for the rest of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Although domestic rebar prices have witnessed a sustained rally on seasonal project segment demand, buyers have turned wary due to the continuous rise in prices and the widening gap with secondary steel prices. Steel prices are expected to remain rangebound in March, provided there are no major disruptions and cargo movements in the Gulf normalise, with Iran granting safe passage to vessels from friendly countries following a 48-hour US ultimatum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mills hike HRC prices on strong restocking demand amid Iran conflict Primary TMT prices hiked&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iron-steel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1774331568",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1?v=1774331568",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1?v=1774331568",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1?v=1774331568",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1?v=1774331568",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1774331568",1280,720,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1774331568",1280,720,true],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?resize=1115%2C715&ssl=1?v=1774331568",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?resize=800%2C500&ssl=1?v=1774331568",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1?v=1774331568",1024,576,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?resize=540%2C340&ssl=1?v=1774331568",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-design-11.jpg?resize=400%2C250&ssl=1?v=1774331568",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=313&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Iron &amp;
